I am advised:
As you would be aware, during the 16 years that Labor were in Government,
fares went up 87 per cent. Since Opal's introduction in 2012, Opal fares have
not, on average, risen above CPI.
Opal card fares have not increased on trains and ferries since January 2015
and on buses and light rail since 2014.
The NSW Government has frozen fares for Opal card customers until July 2017
and has not made a final decision about the future of Opal fares.
